A CHRISTIAN conference under the
auspices of the Observation-Disclosures for
the United States, was held in Wash
ington on the 7th, 9Th and 9th instants.
Some of the most learned, talented and
celebrated ministers'of the Union took
part in the proceedings, and ne think
the result of this conference will be
beneficial among the people at large
and have q tendency to affect public
opinion in q favorable and heRlthful
manner.
The DEVOTION of good Catholics to the
memory of the Saints had not long ago
an impressive and picturesque illustra-
ton in Northumberland, England. 1t
was on the twelfth centenary of st.
Cuthbert. The ruins of the abbey in
which Cuthbert once lived are on holy
Island, near Berwick, place which can
be reached by three miles of Wading at
low tide. Ten thousand people of all
degrees marched barefoot to the ruins
and united in the services. 1t would be
interesting to know if ten thousand
Catholics could be found in America,
who would be willing to go through
such performance in memory of any
saint in the calendar.
The CONGREGATIONS at st. Paul Chapel
have been steadily growing since Sep
tember. The attendance is much better
at night than in the morning; at the
former service very many working men
are regularly in attendance. The pastor |
has been giving series of lectures upon
social topics" each sunday evening, in |
Guiding in his subjects, Communism"
Socialism" Anarchy" Compel |
ton, Incorporation, The Relation of |
Christianity to Socialism, I" us Labor a |
Commodity. Lsboring Men and the |
Church" These lectures are being
quite largely attended by the class Of |
men to whom they are addressed. 1t is |
the purpose of the pastor to continue |
these evening lectures during the winter. |
- Parish Notes.
Mr.. STURGEON has withdrawn from
the Baptist Union, and while doing so,
disclsimed the intention of forming an
other denomination. But he has al
ready formed one. He heads a congre- |
cation which acknowledges no connec-
ton with anv other. 1t claims to be |
"a church." and must be known by a |
distinctive name. 1t must be demon |
mated "Spurgeonite, or something. |
It is a denomination. Mr.. Spurgeon |
has made his congregation in practice |
what every Baptist congregation is in |
theory, church, Independent, autony-
nous. absolute. In withdrawing from |
the Union" the oracle of the London |
Tabernacle has only followed the logic |
of IDdependency. He has simply acted |
on the principle that every man is his |
own church. How many more de-
nominations will be formed by the sub
division of Mr.. Surgeons flock, re-
mains &c be seen.
LAST SUNDAY at st. Marks Cathedral,
was observed the anniversary of the Or
ganization Of chapter of the Brother
hood of st. Andrew among the young
men of the parish. The pastor preached
